BNSF Seldom Branch

[montanawestren]

Hi all,
Well this is my first TS2010 route that I will most likely release. Well Im going to start off with how I came up with the idea, my inspiration came from Pelle Soeberg's desert/mountain layout, I really was inspired by his Donner river part of his layout which is where this came from. You may notice my pics from the USA screenshots thread well those more recent ones are this layout. I only have a bit of it done but here are some WIP pics, oh and one last thing its in Idaho.

All of those engines are from Jointed Rail. the GP38-2's are free and the rest is payware

Nice Shots montanawestern.
BTW, what is the tunnel? It looks good.

Its one of Tume's tunnels built-in TS2010.

 

[qassaquyangli]

Ok, but how do you do that with the existing land surrounding it (Like a 'real' tunnel)?

 

[cascaderailroad]

Don't use "Snap To Grid" tunnels ... or disable the "Snap To Grid" by editing the config file height to -1, and placing your own dighole 1x1

I need some help here, I have about three names for the canyon and need to choose so I decided to let people vote until the 20th of February for the name! So here are the names:
1. Eagle River Canyon
2. White River Canyon
3. Summit River Canyon
NOTE: I may choose Eagle River but im not sure.
Stay tuned!

Eagle River Canyon sounds best

"This list is incomplete" so I guess you could add an Eagle River. I'd lean towards using a real Montana river's name though.

 

[montanawestren]

Um this is in Idaho.

Um this is in Idaho.

Perhaps it is the Salmon river then?

 

[montanawestren]

Hmm I like that name, is it near Moscow, ID?

 

[Enzo1]

Ok I have found the real name of the river near moscow, its the potlatch river...
